Texas is a welfare state, they can't afford to exist without fed money.


Montana aligned with the Dakotas could afford to exit the sinking ship.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8410400


Wrong.

For every dollar Texans send to the Fed, only $1 is returned to them. Texas is seriously supplementing blue state crap.

Besides, if this happens, there will be no more freebies for the entitlement crowd. So, expect an exodus to the blue states of the fat walmartians.

Im from Texas and there are alot of Mexicans already here we coexist peacefully the Mexicans that are here are hard working peace loving people and believe me they dont want any criminals or thugs coming over here from Mexico just like Texans and believe me we need to protect our borders here but with all the federal regulations its impossible our rangers are not allowed to shoot at illegals and the rangers that did went to jail for it so if we did seperate we would be able to protect our borders

I think it only fair that we shift the responsibility of our ecomomic failure back to the Senate, Congress,White House and Supreme Court.. They have consistently sold our way of life down the drain for their personal gain..
I don't think if we all got together that it would be difficult to prove Fraud and Treason on a good part of our legislaters for the past 30 years.. Now if that's the case then They owe.. We don't.. Back charge their asses and their cronies.

Simple. If the Feds fall apart, Texas citizens should cease sending tax dollars to the Fed, but pay to the state instead. Texas may get 1/3 of income from the Fed govt, but they do not get all the $ paid to the Feds by individuals & business back.

Interesting, Virginia is looking at having its' own currency as a contingency plan.

State Rep. James White has proposed a bill that will require the leaders of Texas to start crunching the numbers and figure out what Texas would look like if it had to be self sufficient... limited or no federal support.... OUR OWN COUNTRY.... oops, I am getting a little ahead of myself, haha. Hey, I didn't say secession but that certainly comes to mind when thinking about the federal government having a financial meltdown and cutting off most or all support to the States.

...

State Representative James White Files HB 568: The Texas Self Sufficiency Act

AUSTIN, TEXAS-- State Representative James White has filed HB 568 or the Texas Self-Sufficiency Act. The Texas Self-Sufficiency Act creates a select committee to evaluate the effects of a possible reduction in or elimination of federal funding on the state budget due to federal fiscal policy. "Due to the fiscal dysfunction of Washington, D.C., and the fact that more than a third of our state's budget revenue comes from the federal government, Texas needs to study what it would mean if the Federal Government couldn't meet its obligations," stated Representative White.

Texas is one of the best states. You can find a good price on land and a home. It is easy to save money. Most people here are good workers and they take care of their families the best they can.

Texas is huge, so there are variations in culture. There are many people that are from mexico, spain, and all over the world. The culture is pretty diverse in certain areas. People in Texas have worked together, and lived in communities together, and over time have become one people.

Huge things are going to happen for Texas in the future. Texas will become a large bushiness capital of the U.S. and the world. The cities along the gulf of mexico will grow by expanding trade with mexico and south america. Texas has a very great destiny.

peace
